Day 86: Low Carb Fast Food & Groceries

Here is my Low Carb Food Diary for Day 86 of the “Get Lean For Summer!” 90 Day Low Carb Challenge. Note: I haven’t set a start date for the next 90 Day Low Carb Challenge yet, but the group stays open & active year round.

I had a FULL day of errands yesterday which had me on the road from 9am to 4pm, so breakfast and lunch were both low carb fast food.

My very last errand was to stock up on a few staples at the grocery store, so I’ll share the low carb foods I picked up there as well.

Day 86: Tuesday’s Low Carb Meals

I had a full morning before I headed out so I just had coffee at home, then grabbed breakfast on the road. I stopped through McDonald’s and ordered a “Sausage Egg McMuffin with double sausage, double egg” – then just ditched the muffin.

When I finally got to stop again, I ran through Hardee’s and got a Low Carb Thickburger. Those are on the menu, but I order mine “plain with cheese, mayo & tomato” – because otherwise it comes with ketchup and all sorts of other stuff. 😛

Usually if I’m driving I’ll just order it plain w/cheese so it’s less messy…

Finally home and stocked up on pecans again (yay! lol) I had my favorite “Low Carb Cereal” for dinner. It was 1/2 cup pecans, 1/4 cup Daisy brand cottage cheese, 2 strawberries and 1/8 cup (17.5 grams) of blueberries.

That came to 6 net carbs and 85% healthy fats.

I love this meal of pecans, berries & cottage cheese!

It’s such a nice crunchy/sweet combo of healthy low carb foods! Not only is it packed full of great nutrition, it has GREAT macros.

I did get some exercise yesterday. Almost 5,000 steps on my Fitbit from dancing – goofy dancing 🙂 where I focused on my core and arms.

Here’s what I grabbed at the store while I was out yesterday: pork chops, pecans, spinach, green beans, Daisy brand cottage cheese, blueberries, strawberries, eggs, sausage, sliced turkey, coffee, bottled water, pork skins and cream cheese:

Most of those low carb groceries are just my usual low carb staples. I’m shopping (and cooking) for one, so I can probably eat on all that for a good week or so!

I’m heading back to Lost Creek Falls today to do a little exploring, and to see if there really IS a (third) cave at the top of that waterfall! 🙂

I expect to get in a great workout of hiking and rock climbing today, with plenty of water to cool off in of course. 🙂

I’ll post pictures today on Facebook and Instagram if you want to follow along!

How are things going for you?

Are you still eating low carb and seeing great results, and have you been incorporating exercise into your goals? I look forward to hearing from you!

Let me know if you have any questions, too…
